Default PLEASE HELP!!! Clutch issues

I just bought a spec stage 1 clutch (shoulda got a 2), a spec steel flywheel, steeda double hook quad, and steeda firewall cable adjuster.

Before i put all this in i had a problem with the clutch peddal. The release point was all the way at the top and it seemed like it took forever to push it completely to the floor. In other words, the peddal is very high, it should be closer to the floor.

After i put in all the new stuff above, the same problems occured.

I tried adjusting the cable adjuster, but it doesnt help. The adjuster just makes it stiffer and causes the clutch to ride. I read that an adjustable cable would help this issue but people say that they snap easily.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Your firewall adjuster isnt adjust right you need to go back and readjust it till it feels good. I have a spec2 with steeda quad and firewall adjuster. Just took some time to dial in a good setting.

you also have a whole other hook to use on the quadrant, the higher hook will drop the pedal down. Keep playing with it and it'll go where you want
